Creative Consultancy for Wedding Venues

As the founder and curator of Coco Wedding Venues, Emma has her finger on the pulse of the modern wedding scene and an unrivalled knowledge of the venue market. She knows exactly what it takes to make your wedding business stand out from the crowd…

Whether you’re a new venue looking to launch with impact or a well-established business wanting to up your game in the current market, Emma provides creative consultancy that’s all about cultivating a brilliant brand that brings in the bookings.

The wedding industry is full of fantastic venues, but trust us when we say there’s always room for something special. A voice that whispers what couples want to hear will always be heard above those who just shout clichés. Working in partnership with a select group of industry experts – from branding, web design and copywriting through to training and workshops – Emma is here to help you work out what your message needs to be.

With a background looking after multi-million fashion retail accounts for brands such as Jack Wills, Links of London and Jigsaw, Emma brings an inimitable eye for style and head for business to every project.

Emma has partnered with award-winning wedding planner Katrina Otter Weddings to found Coco & Kat – a creative house for the wedding industry. Together they deliver wildly beautiful and on-trend editorials for wedding brands which balance a high-level of commerciality and accessibility for readers. Perfect for venues looking to make waves in the wedding scene, they’ll help you nail your brand imagery so you can communicate your vision and connect with your tribe.

Coco & Kat also work closely with a select group of photographers who can help you with those very first venue images – no styling required! A dry shoot is extremely valuable in those early establishing days and will set your venue apart.

A modern-day friendship, these two ladies met on Pinterest back in 2013. A shared love for beautiful weddings, stylish interiors and of course being wedding business-owners lead to their first meeting (over cocktails!) and inevitable collaboration. With Emma’s passion for branding & design coupled with Katrina’s talent for planning, they make a great partnership.

Their work has been published in several of the top bridal magazines and blogs, including Rock My Wedding, Love My Dress, Style Me Pretty, Magnolia Rouge, B.LOVED, Aisle Society, Perfect Wedding and You & Your Wedding.

We have followed Coco Wedding Venues from its very beginning and we knew that everything about it resonated perfectly with our couples and potential couples, so when Emma launched her consultancy service with Kat, we were so pleased to be able to tap in to her wedding brand expertise, impeccable style and taste. Initially, Emma gave us a brand “health check” offering streamlined and invaluable advice as well as designing a new brochure. Emma has a perfect understanding of modern, stylish brides (and grooms), but also understood what Pynes House was all about. When, a year later, we wanted to re-launch our website and branding, the prospect of doing so, whilst also running a busy business, was daunting, but Emma managed the project for us and made the whole process so much easier. We are thrilled with the end result and have had great feedback from couples and the industry alike. We have also been privileged to host two incredible styled shoots managed and directed by Coco and Kat. We have been blown away by the images created by the talented teams brought together by Emma and Kat and delighted by the publicity resulting from placement in the top blogs and wedding magazines.

Pynes House

From the day we started our business, Coco has always been a major source of wonderful leads to terrific couples. So it was natural to contact Emma and Kat when we wanted advice and direction for expanding our venue. The day they spent with us was brilliant. They have a wide breadth and depth of wedding industry knowledge. They combine this with strategic vision and best of all they understand their couples, so their marketing advice is spot on. We loved it that they could comment on everything from our venue style and how that could be improved, to targeting our customers and long term developing how our venue should look. They know the trends on the horizon and helped us with buying decisions. I know we will have no regrets if we follow their advice as it is so well considered and is giving us great confidence for the future.

We love Emma at GreenAcres! As newcomers to the wedding industry, we were first introduced to Emma in 2016 and with her amazing advice, guidance and creative direction, she has styled four stunning shoots for us and helped launch GreenAcres Woodland Weddings. Thanks Emma.

GreenAcres Woodland Weddings

After a very successful 20 years as a wedding venue we had lost touch with what modern brides wanted from a venue and what they expected online. We went to several developers and had in depth conversations about a rebrand and web design but nothing felt right. From the very first call with Emma we were filled with confidence of her expertise that she would be able to bring our website and branding into the here and now and she delivered! We are so impressed with our new website and beautiful branding. She worked with other suppliers to help us create new floor plans and an estate map and went above and beyond to ensure that we were 100% happy with everything along the way. We are over the moon with the end result and have been inundated with enquiries since its launch. Thank you so much for all of your hard work these past few months. We are so happy we went with Coco Consultancy over any other company.

Colehayes Park

When launching Holywell Hall as a wedding and events venue we wanted to ensure that everything was done correctly, professionally and to the highest of standards. Emma has played an invaluable part in the launch by providing guidance on and managing all branding aspects as well as our branding campaign. Together Coco & Kat have also pulled together an incredible team of suppliers to create our first styled shoot and we are beyond thrilled with the results.
